The Riflemen Weekly Update
News from DMMS for the Week of October 6, 2024
A Message from Ms. O'Donnell
Dear Daniel Morgan Middle School Students and Families,
This week we close out the end of the first quarter. Friday our 7th grade class will be going to Harpers Ferry. In addition, our 8th grade class will be attending the World of Work at Shenandoah University.
There is no school on Monday, October 14th. Report cards will go home with students on Thursday, October 17th. Please make sure you sign up for a parent conference below. Our parent conferences will be student led this year, which means students will be taking time to show their progress to their parents as part of the conference. Please ensure your child attends, if able.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend. If I can ever be of any assistance, feel free to reach out to me at any time. Let's make it a great week!
